💎 NUMBER EIGHT TURQUOISE LORE:
The Number 8 Turquoise mine is in the Lynn mining district in Eureka County, Nevada. It's famous for its black, golden red and brown spider web matrix set off with the unique bright powder blue turquoise background. The mine has now been depleted, and for this reason Number 8 Turquoise is considered to be extremely valuable.
Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man's history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. In Ancient Egyptian, Turquoise was used to adorn jewellery, and in carvings. It was believed that it would bring good energy to its bearer and that it was connected with fertility, sex, pregnancy, childbirth. Turquoise has also revered as a sacred mineral in Ancient Africa, Asia, and North America for thousands of years, and it has been used for a variety of purposes.
Wearing Turquoise is said to bring strength, protection from harm, psychic sensitivity and good fortune. It is a symbol of friendship, aids wearers while traveling and brings peace to the home. Turquoise is also said to be a wonderful stone for exhaustion, depression, or panic attacks. It is said that wearing Turquoise will bring wisdom, strength and positive thinking into your life.
